PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

The BBRAT is back!

What's the BBRAT, you ask?Well...It stands for Big Brother Reality Aptitude Test.The BBRAT, a weekly test, will tend to highlight the "Beforehand Assumed Decisions" we all are likely of making when the upcoming SuperSecret BigBrother season gets underway.Anyone choosing to take part in a fun diversion while we watch this seasons hushed hamsters, from the comfort of our ezchairs and floorpillows, is strongly encouraged to join. At Any Time.You will be rewarded for your correct predictions with points. I will also be offering the occasional bonus, again for points.The player with the most points at the end of the test...wins!Sound interesting?

Well, then grab your trusty keyboards and come along with me...

*The Premise*

Each week's test will examine your ability to see into the future and predict the weekly winners and losers of (almost) every aspect of the show. Including HOH, Nominations, POV, Renominations, Competitions, America's Choice, Coup detat, Eviction and any other thing the producers want to throw at us. Each correct guess will result in points being added to your individual tally. The player with the most points at seasons end will be crowned "The Biggest BBrat!".Simple and streamlined.

Now, even though it sounds like it's gonna be too easy, I must remind everyone that the answers you give will be for the next weeks events. Not, I repeat, NOT for that Eviction show but for the events covering the following week, beginning with the new HOH (the Wednesday you make your picks). This way, the LiveFeed will have no effect upon the test. (Outside of the first week when a couple of things typically become known before the first show airs. Those, I can handle. But from then on...start looking into your chrystalballs.) I know this may sound confusing, but I promise it does only at first. (And then maybe a minor slippage of memory about half-way through. ) Quite quickly, you'll be realizing it's all a carpshoot anyways.

*The Outline*Every week I will post questions covering 4 sections.There will be a variable amount of questions, in each section, from week to week.1. Power PositionsThese questions will test your ability to predict the HOHs, POV winners and America's choices.2. Competition ArenaThese questions will test your ability to predict the various outcomes of the Competitions.3. Block ActivityThese questions will test your ability to predict the nominees, the evictees and the non-evictees.4. BBBonusThese questions will test your ability to predict various other outcomes of the show. Or some other form of game/challenge I may have decided to create. Note also that the outcomes may have direct effects on other participating bbrats.

*The Rules*Deadline for all entries will be each and every Wednesday, 8:59, boardtime. Aside from a couple of other times due to the TV scheduling. But safe to say, it will be due before the Eviction happens, whenever that is.These switches are usually referred to as "PopQuiz"s. These are held when "suprise" events take control of the house and the producers decide to switch the format from the norm. Depending completely on the show's schedule. I will try to stay right on top of things, if something changes.The BBRAT will be open to new players at any time.Those who make an entry after the weekly deadline will not be considered.Those who miss an entry will have to go without gaining any points for the week.If a vacation or other time-constraint happens, you are allowed to have a proxy-player make your entry for you.Any player who misses 3 entries in a row will be forced to wear a bunny suit as they are escorted out the front door.

*The Entry*The game will start with the prediction of HOH and end with the prediction of the evictee. From Wed. to Wed. Therefore, all of your test answers/predictions will be made regarding the next weeks episode. Each questions outcome will be determined by the show itself. For instance, if a competiton is held but not aired, in the show (either tues, wed. or sun.), it will not count.I will try to post the new entry thread every Thurs. with an as-up-to-date-as-I-can-get results section in it. *ALSO, any answer with "None", "No One", "all the rest", "everybody else" or some other non specific answer, will not be counted.Where it asks to name one HG, simply name one HG.

*Points*If you answer a question correctly you will receive the points alloted in the parentheses after each question. These points are subject to change but not without notice. If you are wrong with your choices you will receive 0 points. If one of your answers contains a previously evicted HG, it will be worth 0 points. If the question can't be judged, it will be voided.

*Twists*1. BBRAT HOH:Every week, the bbrat with the highest weekly points will win the BBRAT HOH. Other than a nice yet fleeting title, this player(s) will receive an additional 5 point bonus.2. SLOP PENALTY:Every week, all bbrats with less than half of the HOH's weekly score, will be put on Slop. This comes in the form of a -3 point penalty. Neither of which taste good.3. SECRETS: Even I have some. When, Where and How come to be determined later. So beware, be watchful, be ready.

Competiton Arena:Since Slop is such an unpredictable part of this season AND with only 5 HGs playing in the POV, I'm running out of questions to fill the Competition Arena section.

HOWEVER...*If your chosen HG is the Evictee or the NEW HOH, rather than receiving their shoutout points, you will automatically receive 0 points.*So really, only three HGs will count.(Yes, that's predicting two weeks ahead. Throw your brain around that one.)

BB List of HGs: Adam ~ James ~ Natalie ~ Ryan ~ Sharon ~ Sheila

* A little early welcome to late-comer, suzzee. You can have the spot formerly marked for CattyChat. Who due to some pretty persuasive lobbyists has been removed completey from the bbrat.

* No worries, I'll clean out that negative score first.

* By the way... Catty says she wishes you all well, but circumstances have required her to leave. And Thanks for all the nice messages.

* Okay, I must admit, I made that all up. The Catty part, not the suzzee welcome part.

* Oh who am I kidding. She left. *sniffle* She's the one who should be coming in here and giving you all her own goodbye message. I will miss her though. But when there's a new room available, why shouldn't I?

2. Eating slop contributes to peace in the house. No one argues about a what to eat, it's always slop. It's always slop.

3. Fumicide. Especially in regard to Adam, but the girls aren't so dainty in this regard either. Slop farts kill rats, roaches, spiders, just about every thing. This is not an advantage for the pet hamsters, however. One piece of trivia that the producers have been trying to keep from the public, the Hamsters have to be replaced every night when the house is on slop, the fumes are fatal to these cute little innocent bystander pets. And if PETA got 'wind ' of this, there would be pickets.

4. Eating slop puts you on a regular schedule, IYKWIM. Ever 15 minutes after a meal of slop, a visit to the water closet is mandatory until the intestines are purged. That stuff goes thru you like a lightening bolt. Needless to say, there are no roaches, or even any microbes, in the WC when the house is on slop.

So, for dinner, just give me some Slop burgers, with a side of slop fries, and a garden slop salad and a slop shake. No wait, substitute a nice slop slaw for the slop salad, please. Tomorrow, we'll try a slopersnitzel recipe with stewed slop. Yum yum.
